SuperStars playing the whole 20mins

[Optimus James]

I sub all my guys. Unlike dudes who will just abuse time out in order to keep Wade and Lebron's gatorade cup full.

That's not what I was saying is happening, but if there was a serious game between say the Heat and Cleveland that had 5 minute quarters, I can guarantee you that Lebron and Wade would play the whole match, only to be substituted when the lead is unassailable.

I guess that the correct sentence would be: "If you want to compete pick a team that cannot be overpowered by stupid rating skills and try to play an enjoyable game without exploring videogame flaws".

I rather play with or against the Cats than the most annoying match on the 2k13 online universe Heat x OKC.

In theory, I totally agree with you - all the different mechanics would be adjusted for the time selected to play. I also agree they need different lobbies for different play ...

Currently, if all you adjusted was the fatigue/stamina would that really solve the issue? I think you'd have to adjust a lot more to get a 5 minute true to life sim game.. everything from rotations to shooting ability.

As an example - timeouts ... should the number of timeouts granted be the same for a 5 minute quarter as a 12 minute quarter? Perhaps a 10 minute half should only grant you 2 timeouts... there are a lot of little things like this that time changes.

All I am saying is that as things are - the OP's desire to have a 20 minute "real sim" game is just too much to expect. Not that it is right or that it should not be addressed by giving more lobbies etc.

Play a real game online, and by real game play a online association or a game that is 10-12 minute quarters. You'll see stamina is fine. You can only get about 30 minutes out of bigs and max out at around high 30's for guards. Your right though, for 5 min quarters though stamina should scale better.

Its called QUICK MATCH for a reason.

Who really wants to sub out their STAR by the 2:30 min mark due to "real fatigue" in the first quarter to play "real" basketball?

A real scale would have most of the bigs in the game w/ a Gatorade sign by the end of the first quarter.

Ok forget I even mentioned the game length. I'm more concerned w/ the arcadey game "style" more than anything. The turbo abuse is off the charts.

[ksuttonjr76]

Personally, I believe that the quarters should be longer than 5 minutes anyways. I'm a fan of 7 or 8 minutes....not too long...not too short. I've been complaining about that since NBA 2K5, so.......

That was another thing that I liked about NBA 2K11. I could create random unranked matches.
